SoF promise to blow on your vuvuzelas long time? (this was the best I could come up with on minimal sleep).

Lame. But good luck I guess, forgot how much my social life hated this server.

Rahl, I know you're not leading IMP.. but DK once called Pan home, nice to see our hospitality rewarded.

See you on the battlefield.

You're surprised 2 war clans went to war?

Nah. This server needs more clans though.

I think until this game gets bigger, clans should have only 160 countries max, and it shouldn't be like teams where there is 100 different versions of the same clan.

that wouldnt work unless it was against the rules.

Clans like NBK had tons of members back in the day, and what if they wanted to come back? They would either do what you said and tag them up in NBK2. OR they would Make another clan sharing a site but 2 different tags...

Theres always a fault for these ideas trying to enforce rules like this.

I know but I have a feeling this game will die with just six real clans in it. Something might need to do something drastic for it to survive.

Talk like this likely brought its demise originally. I agree that clan sizes are an issue, namely when everyone joins one clan, but in time others may be sniped into joining smaller clans for a challenge, some may not. As the community evolves, so will the game.

No bots and massive unapologetic cheating brought its demise originally.

No not really, everyone argues bots and cheating, but its really just the farming of untags and wars.

I havent seen one person quit because of a cheater. I have seen numerous people quit because they are new and got farmed by someone or they got beat down bad in a war.

I was one of the people who quit because almost everybody had a bot at the end and it got pointless to play against them. Takers, DUEL etc, hardly anybody wasn't guilty.

lots of bots were involved in the wars

ironically one of the wars was started after homer grabbed the lula bot and didnt accept its retals then called in defensive allies to kill it

when it was following fairly standard retal and kill rules

I can't think of a single major war towards the end that didn't involve a bot. DUEL-ESYN, Takers-TC etc.

If you had been around longer Twiztid you would have seen entire tags quit cause of cheating

Wait...didn't FFA shut down with 1,000 plus players still active?

Seems to me, although I came into the game the set AFTER FFA was shut down, that Mehul pulled the plug because of massive unrestricted cheating?

Well, that would mean ~2400 players assuming no multies, wouldn't it? So let's say 2000 actives assuming there likely were. Even if bots ran out %50 of the player base, it would still be 1k actives.

*edit*

I have no idea. Like I said, I came in a few sets too late. Just venturing a guess based on how things seem to work now.

I doubt very seriously that FFA ever had more than 400 active people in its prime. Remember in it's prime FFA had unlimited countries and most people ran 100's if not 1000's of countries.

I often wondered about that myself. I always figured an optimistic estimate of 800 or so players. You're prolly right though. It was likely closer to 400.

i knew of at least 200 actives back in the day when I was tagged under NBK. NBK had at least 80 members and NA had at least 100. When I'm thinking of, was the massive bot war when NBK decided to rain down on 2 or 3 bot runners, with some deletions from Mehul.

Back in the day :D

Well the Chambot prolly accounted for 1/3 of the countries in the old FFA.





RAGE vs. PANLV was a particularly bloody bot war.
